definitely feel free to manually make one and see how it goes; i think it'd work fine on here

Is this idea different from a pinned discussion thread that is live during the game? I am not too familiar with how it is done on reddit or twitch.
Different subreddits handle it differently, but, yes, a discussion thread during games. I have no idea if there's a Twitch equivalent, I was just using chaotic, fast-moving, useless Twitch chat as an analogy for what the Reddit discussion threads have turned into.
I've talked to the admins about coding a game thread bot. I'm currently very busy so i cant do it but I'd be very excited if someone else did it
I don't have the skills to make a bot. I was just going to try manually doing a few.
I've got at least some experience writing reddit bots, I can give it a shot if there's interest (or at least get one set up)
Is there any documentation about creating one? I can probably code one with some guidance
I don't know if this is still used, but here's a reddit example that includes source code:
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/22ah8i/introducing_matchthreadder_a_bot_to_set_up_match/
If you don't mind the effort of running one, I'm onboard! It'll be interesting to see the quality of posts with such a smaller audience. I also don't think it's as important to have something like a bot create a running box score; the more important thing is being able to just discuss the game with other people.
NFL game threads and Fantasy Football updates are the two things i really want to be able to have here, I'd love to get those
